Tourism Destination Development : Turns and Tactics
Although blurred and heavily contested, the concept of ’tourist destination’ still deserves careful attention.Despite its unstable characteristics, ’destination’ is a central and meaningful term in play among all parties in the field of tourism, including tourists, tourism operators, and politicians, as well as students and tourism scholars.This anthology draws on different approaches and discourses of tourism destination development, while focusing on how they are shaped and reshaped and how they should be read and rehearsed.The book reveals dominant as well as alternative approaches to the field.The authors demonstrate how tourism destinations are commercial, but socially embedded; how they are both material and territorial, but at the same time socially constructed; how production of touristic brands and images are vital, but contested.Such tensions are unfolded through paradigmatic discussions and a series of case studies from the northern hemisphere.The chapters in the book investigate how destination development is catalysed through theming, how changing environments lead to reorientations, and how destinations are political.Altogether, the book provides experts and students with an up-to-date theoretical and empirical insight into tourist destinations.

Creativity, Culture, and Development
This volume presents a collection of writings on the relations among creativity, culture and development.The editors invited “like-minded” researchers of creativity from around the world to share their respective notions of creativity.Given that human creativity is a potential that can and should be nurtured in the course of lifespan development and across all cultural backgrounds, the volume emphasizes the importance of promoting creativity in all cultures and through societal-educational opportunities, and offers a venue for the authors to make conceptual, empirical and practical inquiries into the relations among creativity, development and culture.The authors represent a varied “mix” of contemporary and emerging creativity researchers who use different methodologies to investigate the importance of culture in creativity development and the reciprocal role of developing creativity and cultural enrichment.The volume represents an attempt on the part of the editors and the authors to broaden our current understanding of creativity in the contexts of human and cultural development, and in so doing to enhance our understanding of creativity, culture and development in the contexts of flourishing human and societal activities.As the first volume in a book series on “Creativity in the Twenty-First Century”, the book invites readers and researchers to engage in future interdisciplinary and intercultural discourses and dialogues on the importance of creativity for human and cultural development.

What is the evolutionary history of the development of horses?
Horses have a long evolutionary history that dates back over 50 million years. They evolved from small, multi-toed creatures known as eohippus, which lived in forests and had a diet of soft plants. Over time, as their environment changed and grasslands became more prevalent, horses adapted by developing a single toe and teeth suited for grazing on tougher grasses. This evolutionary process led to the development of the modern horse we are familiar with today.

What is heterogeneous development?
Heterogeneous development refers to the uneven progress or growth that occurs within a particular region or country. It means that different areas or groups within the same region experience varying levels of development, resulting in disparities in terms of income, infrastructure, education, and other socio-economic indicators. This can be due to factors such as unequal distribution of resources, historical legacies, government policies, or global economic trends. Addressing heterogeneous development often requires targeted interventions and policies to reduce disparities and promote more inclusive growth.
